Editorial Review:
From its charming and angst-ridden first season to the darker,
apocalyptic final one, Buffy the Vampire Slayer succeeds on many
levels, and in a fresher and more authentic way than the shows that
came before or after it. How lucky, then, that with the release of
its boxed set of seasons 1-7, you can have the estimable pleasure of
watching a near-decade of Buffy in any order you choose. (And we
have some ideas about how that should be done.)
First: rest assured that there's no shame in
coming to Buffy late, even if you initially turned your nose up at
the winsome Sarah Michelle Gellar kicking the hell out of vampires
(in Buffy-lingo, vamps), demons, and other evil-doers. Perhaps you
did so because, well, it looked sort of science-fiction-like with
all that monster latex. Start with season 3 and see that Buffy
offers something for everyone, and the sooner you succumb to it, the
quicker you'll appreciate how textured and riveting a drama it is.
Why season 3? Because it offers you a winning
cast of characters who have fallen from innocence: their hearts have
been broken, their egos trampled in typically vicious high-school
style, and as a result, they've begun to realize how fallible they
are. As much as they try, there are always more monsters, or a
bigger evil. Despite this, or perhaps because of it, the core crew
remains something of a unit--there's the smart girl, Willow (Alyson
Hannigan) who dreams of saving the day by downloading the plans to
City Hall's sewer tunnels and mapping a route to safety. There are
the ne'r do wells--the vampire Spike (James Marsters), who both
clashes with and aspires to love Buffy; the tortured and torturing
Angel (David Boreanz); the pretty, popular girl with an empty heart
(Charisma Carpenter); and the teenage everyman, Xander (Nicholas
Brendon).
Then there's Buffy herself, who in the course
of seven seasons morphs from a sarcastic teenager in a minidress to
a heroine whose tragic flaw is an abiding desire to be a "normal"
girl. On a lesser note, with the boxed set you can watch the fashion
transformation of Buffy from mall rat to Prada-wearing, kickboxing
diva with enviable highlights. (There was the unfortunate bob of
season 2, but it's a forgivable lapse.) At least the storyline
merits the transformations: every time Buffy has to end a
relationship she cuts her hair, shedding both the pain and her
vulnerability.
In addition to the well-wrought teenage
emotional landscape, Buffy deftly takes on more universal
themes--power, politics, death, morality--as the series matures in
seasons 4-6. And apart from a few missteps that haven't aged
particularly well ("I Robot" in season 1 comes to mind), most
episodes feel as harrowing and as richly drawn as they did at first
viewing. That's about as much as you can ask for any form of
entertainment: that it offer an escape from the viewer's workaday
world and entry into one in which the heroine (ideally one with
leather pants) overcomes demons far more troubling than one's own.
